As you're fetching the kernel directly from Linus' tree, the 3.16 version does not support building with gcc5.

If you change to instead fetch from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git, i.e. the stable tree, and change to v3.16.7:

SRC_URI = "git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;protocol=git;nocheckout=1;name=machine;branch=linux-3.16.y"
SRCREV_test = "d0335e4feea0d3f7a8af3116c5dc166239da7521"

then you should be able to build the kernel without any issue.

I am attempting to run bitbake on a recipe with a non-yocto custom source. Using a linux-yocto source works fine, but when I attempt to use the linux-yocto-custom skeleton file provided by the yocto project files, I run into problems.

My file structure looks a little like this:

meta-test
|
.
.
.
+--recipes-kernel/
   |
   +--linux/
       |
       +--linux-yocto-custom_3.16.bb
       +--linux-yocto-custom/
          |
          +--defconfig

Here's my modified skeleton file (linux-yocto-custom_3.16.bb):

inherit kernel
require recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc
SRC_URI = "git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;protocol=git;nocheckout=1;name=machine"
SRC_URI += "file://defconfig"
LINUX_VERSION ?= "3.16"
LINUX_VERSION_EXTENSION_append = "-custom"
SRCREV_test="19583ca584d6f574384e17fe7613dfaeadcdc4a6"
PV = "${LINUX_VERSION}+git${SRCPV}"
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "test"

Here's the error log:

I believe the most relevant portion is this part of the above log:

compiler-gcc.h:106:30: fatal error: linux/compiler-gcc5.h: No such file or directory

I'm really stumped because a file is generated during the build 'compiler-gcc5.h' at location build/tmp/work/test-poky-linux/core-image-test/1.0-r0/rootfs/usr/src/kernel/include/linux/compiler-gcc5.h. What's going on here? It seems to me that this header file's being requested before being fetched but I don't know how to fix that.

I'm trying to build Linux kernel v2.6... getting the same error but with gcc 6... will this solution work for me as well?
